...orizer and practical man. Harvard is the first University in the country, and, possibly, in the world, to create a chair o foreign trade; and the man who has been chosen to fill it--Professor George B. Roorbach--has had a chance to put his ideas into practice. The creation of the new chair is the latest chapter in the growth of interest in the science of economics which has been the most notable alteration of recent years in Harvard's curriculum. Professor Taussing was the second man to give a course in economics at Harvard College; since the time...
...large bequests, the Lord Strathcona Fund and the John W. Sterling Fund, have recently been received by Yale University.

The number by and large, is certainly above the standard of last year's Advocate. It would be admirable if the attempt to comment on political affairs were developed into a reglar feature of the paper...
...very glad to hear that your class is contemplating the creation of a gate to the College Yard in memory of the men of your class who fell in the war. Bit by bit the Yard is being beautified but much remains to be done, and I can think of no more fitting nor permanent memorial, of a modest but apt sort than the addition of a monumental portal to the Yard fence, now so nearly complete. Of course we all hope that the alumni will create some single splendid memorial to the memory of all Harvard dead...
